Spotify’s mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the chance to enjoy and be passionate about these creators.
Data is a means to an end, and Spotify extracts value from data through application. The Data Platform Studio helps Spotify win by enabling the application of data in an intuitive and efficient way.
Data Platform is responsible for how data is collected, processed, stored, governed, and made available to the thousands of engineers, data scientists, analysts, and machine learning practitioners who build Spotify’s products. As AI agents increasingly generate code, write data pipelines, and power personalized user experiences, Data Platform sits at the center of one of the most important infrastructure domains at Spotify.
We're looking for a passionate Product Manager to join the team responsible for Spotify’s data catalogue, metadata, and data lineage capabilities. In this role, you'll own the strategy and roadmap for a critical part of Spotify's data ecosystem, helping users discover, understand, trust, and safely use data at scale.

- Build strong relationships with internal product, engineering, analytics, and data teams to understand workflows, gather feedback, and shape future platform investments.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, design, and data science partners to deliver high-quality platform experiences.
- Influence stakeholders across the Data Platform Studio and broader Spotify organization to align around product direction and priorities.
- Help shape how Spotify approaches metadata, governance, discoverability, lineage, and trust in an increasingly AI-driven world.
- Stay informed on industry trends across data platforms, developer tools, AI/ML infrastructure, analytics, and data governance.
